Healing from Ritual Abuse and Mind Control: Survivor
Trish Fotheringham Speaks Out
DVD Set of Interviews
www.MoreThanAnIdea.ca/id74.html
In these films, Ellen Lacter Ph.D. interviews Trish, a Canadian
survivor of ritual abuse and mind control. [An article by Trish
appeared in the Survivorship Journal, Vol. 15 No. 2.]
She describes how she successfully worked through her
programming and attained a cohesive whole sense of self,
explains mind control and how to overcome it, and openly
discusses all of what done to her without self-condemnation.
She also displays artwork illustrating her previously
dissociated personalities, her inner world, and her breaking
free of the bonds in which her abusers sought to trap her. The
DVD’s will inspire great hope and courage and provide
direction and guidance for the healing journey, not only to
survivors, but also to the people who help them, including
psychotherapists, clergy, and loved ones.
($18.00 plus $6.50 shipping for the three-DVD set)
The Franklin Scandal: Powerbrokers, Child Abuse and
Betrayal
by Nick Bryant
http://franklinscandal.com/index.html
This book is about a nationwide sex trafficking using Boys Town
as a source of young victims. Some of the victims that Bryant has
interviewed state that they were ritually abused. Nebraska
legislators exposed the ring in 1990, but a grand jury was
manipulated into declaring the allegations a hoax and indicting
witnesses for perjury. In one case, a girl who had been abused
since the age of 14 refused to recant her abuse and was sentenced
to 9-15 years in prison. The Senate committee’s lead investigator
was killed, along with his 9-year-old son, in an exploding plane,
and there were other suspicious deaths. All real inquiry stopped,
and the cover-up continued for almost 20 years. The book traces
the web of corruption within Nebraska and Washington DC and
shows how a major part of that cover-up was accomplished.
[Note: The author is donating 50% of the book’s proceeds to
organizations that assist abused children.]
